Apps will not update even with correct password

My Apps icon on my iPhone 4 currently says I have 37 updates available.  I am unable to update them individually OR all at once.  After pressing the UPDATE button it asks for my account password like normal.  I type it in correctly and it shifts back to the app icons, showing all of the apps with the update progess bar at the bottom of them.  Then a popup appears saying:
Sign in the the iTunes Store.
If you have an Apple ID sign in with it here, AOL members can sign in using their AOL username and password.
Cancel   Buy
If I cancel nothing happens.  If I hit BUY and type in my password again it just gives me the same error popup again.
However, if I try to download a new app from the app store using the same password it lets me.  The new app downloads and installs just fine.
What is with this error message and what do I need to do to fix this?  FYI I have no AOL account and have never had one in the past.
Thank you,
MaestroC

Finally got this solved by taking it to the genius bar at the Apple store.  They too had never seen anything like it before, but managed to solve the problem by having me turn on iCloud backup there at the store.  The phone backed up my settings and information to iCloud and then the guy took it to the back room and did a restore on it using that same iCloud backup data.  Thus it saved my settings and app info but is downloading new, updated versions of all of the apps as it restores itself from iCloud.  It seeme to have fixed the AOL login popup problem.
He seemed to think that somehow my backups here on my home PC are getting corrupted somehow but none of the techs had any idea what was going on.

  • My apps will not update, keeps asking for password

    I am trying to go on and update my apps. It did not recognize my password, I reset my password and updating my system to the iOS 7, once it had restarted I went back to my apps it prompted me to enter my password. I did, and the update circles but does nothing then says update again. I don't know what else to do. Help!

    Hello J9Coutts,
    The steps below can help get your iCloud account updated on your device.
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
    Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
    Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

  • Apps will not download, even with full 4G service

    What the crap? I can't download any apps from the Playstore. I've got 9 app updates, and I've tried to download a few new ones, and none of them even started to download. Anyone know what the deal is?

        Oh wow. That's pretty strange, clboatright. It does help us to confirm it's not something on our network stopping the download since you were also getting the error on WiFi. We haven't given up. Please try:
    Settings>Data Usage> make sure Mobile Data is on and limit mobile data usage is off. Also press Menu and make sure Restrict Background Data is off.
    **then return to home screen**
    Settings>Application Manager>All>tap Play Store then clear cache (not data) and force stop
    **then return to home screen**
    Settings>Application Manager>All>tap Google Service Framework and clear data (not cache) and force stop
    Then reboot your phone. If the trouble continues, a full hard reseet http://vz.to/LfV00q would be the next step. Please keep us posted.

  • Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week, and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password.

    Help!  Just did the Update (ML 10.8.4) after receiving a new HD since mine crashed last week and the shop didn't update it back to Mavricks which I had previously done...and now my Mac won't let me past the log in screen even with correct password entered. It just spins like I'm logging in and then goes back to the user log in screen.  I did the process where I restarted and pressed control S and created a new user and password, but once created same issue and can't get passed that screen.
    Super frustrated and any help is appreciated!

    I have decided to dedicate this thread to the wonderful errors of Lion OSX. Each time I find a huge problem with Lion I will make note of it here.
    Today I discovered a new treasure of doggie poop in Lion. No Save As......
    I repeat. No Save As. In text editor I couldn't save the file with a new extension. I finally accomplished this oh so majorly difficult task (because we all know how difficult it should be to save a file with a new extension) by pressing duplicate and then saving a copy of the file with a new extension. Yet then I had to delete the first copy and send it to trash. And of course then I have to secure empty trash because if I have to do this the rest of my mac's life I will be taking up a quarter of percentage of space with duplicate files. So this is the real reason they got rid of Save As: so that it would garble up some extra GB on the ole hard disk.
    So about 20 minutes of my time were wasted while doing my homework and studying for an exam because I had to look up "how to save a file with a new extension in  mac Lion" and then wasted time sitting here and ranting on this forum until someone over at Apple wakes up from their OSX-coma.
    are you freaking kidding me Apple? I mean REALLY?!!!! who the heck designed this?!!! I want to know. I want his or her name and I want to sit down with them and have a long chat. and then I'd probably splash cold water on their face to wake them up.
    I am starting to believe that Apple is Satan.

  • Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

    Help!Can't access iCloud (pics apps) even with correct password. Won't download my stored info on my new phone

    That happens because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, even though your last 1000 photo stream photos remain on your devices until deleted.  When you enabled photo stream on your iPod 4, you only received photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.  If you want to stream these older photos to your new iPod, you will have to create a shared photo stream on your old one that contains these photos (requires iOS 6 or higher) and invite yourself as a subscriber, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99.

  • I updated our iPad a week ago to 8.1 (12B410) and since then most apps will not close down with the 4 fingers swiping in.

    I updated our iPad a week ago to 8.1 (12B410) and since then most apps will not close down with the 4 fingers swiping in. The only way to close them down is to hit the middle bottom button twice then swipe upwards. Is anyone else having this problem and how do I fix it?

    This has been happening to me as well with an iPad 3 running iOS 8.1. This is what I do and it works for me. Toggle the setting for Multitasking Gestures off and then on again, Settings>General>Multitasking Gestures>Off. Then toggle it on again.
    I have to repeat the sequence from time to time as I have not found a permanent fix. I think that iOS 8 is by far the buggiest iOS release that I have used since I have owned an iOS device.

  • Apps will not update on iPhone 4

    My apps will not update on my phone.  I've turned my phone off and let it set and tried to update after and it didn't work.  I've tried backing up and syncing and it didnt work either.  I've tried to update the apps individually instead of all at once and I get a message such "name of the app is not available at this time" , but it updated on my iPad just fine.  I can't use my apps on my phone as it acts like they are currently updating.  It's been this way for three days.  Any ideas on how to correct or what caused it? 

    I had this problem, I had 12 apps that would just not update via cell data or wireless!!!
    To solve I just updated all the apps in itunes on my mac (or home pc) and then when i connected my iphone it just updated them the first time with the sync!!

  • Will not update even though i tapped update all

    My ipad will not update even though I tapped update all. any suggestions, thanks

    Is your payment information current for your Apple ID?  Even though updates are free, your account may not allow updates if it has an issue like an expired credit card, or an updated password that you have not yet entered into the device's iTunes Store account settings.

  • HT4623 apps will not update

    under the app store it shows I have updates to do.  When I hit install all and then my password the apps will not update. 

    I found a solution to the problem.  Connected iPhon to iMac.  Opened iTunes and clicked on my phone.  Then clicked on 'Apps'.  Found the apps not updating and deleted them.  Synced phone and all is now well.

  • Updated to IOS6 and now my apps will not update on the Ipad2.  I have to delete them and then re-install.  But I have several hundred apps and this is cumbersome.  Seems the new software is too buggy.  I am telling people not to update software yet.

    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Apps will not update since ios5 on 4s

    Existing apps are not updating. Verizon unsuccessful as well. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

    Re-sign in the phone to your iTunes Store account:
    Settings > Store > tap ID > sign out (even if it appears correct) > sign in with correct ID and billing info > restart phone.

  • Apps will not update in iTunes

    Recently bought new laptop w/Windows 7 (Win7 required for work.)  Downloaded/installed latest ver of iTunes to sync my iPhone 4S and iPad. I can update apps in iTunes but they will not update on devices during sync. On the device menu in iTunes I can click the Update radio button and it will change to "Will Update" but when sync is started it changes back to "Update".  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Did you copy the ENTIRE iTunes library from the old computer to the new computer?  If not, the link between the library and device is broken.
