Apps wont install on Iphone 4 OS 6.1

Everytime I click on a free or $ app, it shows installing, app store asks for my password and I enter it. It continues as if the password is correct.. in other words it doesn't tell me incorrect password.. I have tried doing that just in case..... It looks like the phone is going to download it, and then it just pops back to Free or $x.xx.
Now, I have
Restored my phone
loaded all the apps back on
changed my password on my Itunes account
checked all my billing information is correct.
I CAN download any app, the same I am trying on my Itunes (PC) and install it on my iphone
I have noticed this question was sorta asked before, but there was no answer, and surley I am not the only one having this issue
Also, I have 160 apps, I deleted 20 of them last night before I did a back up and restore
Thank you for any help

restrictions are disabled, I have restting the phone numorus times before that, also I restored my phone last night.
I noticed this 2 weekends ago.. maybe had this problem before, because I have not downloaded an app for a while
Any other ideas
thanks for the help though

The apps wont install in my ipod touch 5th gen

the apps wont install in my ipod touch 5th gen, it says 'will install' but it wont. i downloaded it through itunes in my pc. and the files doesnt sync. help

Resetting settings does not remove Restrictions. Thus as Diavonex asked:
Did you set any restrictions on the iPod?
Settings>General>Restrictions>Installing Apps
Have you successfully synced from the iTunes library before?
Yu said: "it says 'will install' but it wont." what says "will install" Just what happens?

TS1702 What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found"

What to do when you get "iTunes library app not installed on iPhone; app could not be found". None of the Apple suggestions fix the problem. For example, with Animoto, one of the problem apps, I have removed it, reinstalled it, and still get the eoor message.

Of course.
First of all, this started when an external drive i was using died on me. I have no doubt that these apps indeed are off my system. I figure between the apps I've bought for myself and my kid, I have about 150 apps.
Now. The issue.
When I sync my iPad with iTunes on my desktop, it goes through normally until it gets to the apps. When that happens, it get an error box that reads "Some of the apps in your iTunes library were not installed on the iPad because one or more errors occurred. For a list of appps that could not be installed, click on the triangle below."
Then I get a list of apps.
(Added note to any iTunes developers out there: The titles of the apps in this list do not always match the titles of the apps in the App Store. For example, one was called "MuseumGame" on my iPad. It's called "Museum of Thieves" on the App Store. I started out with a list of 60 apps. It was a major pain to track them all down. It would be nice to have everything the same so I can use the App Store search more effectively.)
Anyway, moving on....
The error message stops my sync until I dismiss it. That, honestly, is what makes this whole thing annoying enough to seek out an answer. I can't let my iPad start syncing and walk out of the room. Yeah. I know. First World problems.
Once I dismiss the error, the sync continues and all is well.
I did the following to try to fix the problem. Mostly, I did a lot of searches:
My list of purchased apps on my iPad both using the search box and by going to every page
Searched the main App Store on my iPad using the search field. When that didn't work, I used wider searches and just scanned the page(s) for the little cloud icon that showed I had purchased the app.
I got on my desktop iTunes and searched the apps from there (without a lot of hope, but trying to be complete)
At that point, I came to the conclusion that a small number of the apps are no longer available on the App Store.
Fine. I didn't want them anyway.
I got into iTunes and went to the Apps page. None of the errant apps showed up there. I searched the iTunes help files. Nothing. I crossed my fingers, said a little prayer to the search engine gods, and tried Google. I found some things that sort of matched but they basically boiled down to "re-download the app from the App Store" or "Restore your iPad".
So I spent a couple of hours restoring my iPad. I got the error message again. I hit Google again and came up with this thread. It was as close to my problem as I found.
I think that brings us up to date.
My fundamental problem is that I seem to have found a scenario where if you have to restore apps (because, perhaps, your external drive died) and some of the apps are no longer available for download, there is an error generated that can not be permanently dismissed.
Did I miss anything important?

HT1848 apps wont install in my iphone because of outdated software what to do

apps not installing because of outdated software

I am having the exact same issue and am freaking out!
I am an activated original US EDGE 8GB iPhone user and am traveling in the UK. I had been using the phone on wifi-only Airplane Mode this week with no problems.
Just updated my mac to iTunes 8; then updated the iPhone to iPhone 2.1 (or so I thought). But before the iPhone software update cycle completed, the same "no SIM" pop-up error message the OP saw displays in iTunes. Then, on the phone, I see the same "Connect to iTunes" message.
The only options I see on the iPhone are clicking an "info" button (which gives me an IMEI number and "ICCID: Unknown" info), or making an emergency call (which wouldn't work anyway since I am still in airplane mode. But I can't find any option now on the bricked phone to turn off airplane mode. Rebooting doesn't help. Haven't removed/reinserted the SIM yet but I'm sure that won't help me just as it didn't help the OP.
Is there any way for me to get out of this? I need to use the phone today (urgently) and can't take it back to the US for service for another week?!

Apps wont Install

Since the AppStore outtage, my apps wont update or install. it gives me error: "This app couldn't be installed, please use the purchase page and try again" which I did yet it gives me the same error! Any help? MBP late 11 13" OSX 10.10.2

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
          8.8.8.8
          8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
Step 3
Quit the App Store if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults write -app "App Store" ShowDebugMenu YES
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.
Launch the App Store. There should now be a menu labeled Debug in the menu bar at the top of the screen. From that menu, select
          Reset Application
Quit again and relaunch. Test.
Optionally, remove the Debug menu by quitting the App Store and entering the command below in the same way as before:
defaults delete -app "App Store" ShowDebugMenu

Apps not installing to iPhone

I backed up my iPhone 5 with all of my information from my iPhone 4 but my apps haven't installed, I press on the apps to install and it says 'Will Install' but I'm still not getting them on my phone. Any Help? By the way, I'm using ITunes iOs 10.7.5.

After you double click the home button you swipe up on the app screenshot.

Apps not installing on iphone

I posted yesterday, and my post is "gone." I hope apple responds to me rather than just deleting my posts...
I get the message that:
(appname) will be available for download when you log in to the iTunes Store on your computer.
However, I have logged in. I have synced. I have tried again. Yet, I can still not get the apps on the iPhone.
I get this error if I am installing a new app or if the iPhone tells me an update is available to an app that works and is already installed on my iPhone.
ARG!
I now have icons for the "old" non-updated apps AND icons for the "new" updated apps on my iphone. one works (old non-updated), and the "new" one just gives me the same error message...
Any solution??
Is there a solution?

After syncing (three times), uninstalling the "offending" apps, reinstalling the apps, they show up on the iPhone. I really hope I won't have to keep doing this every time I have to update... I don't always carry my computer around on trips. o think I can't update or install new apps unless I have my computer with me is going to be a bother...

Purchased app wont show on iPhone after sync

Purchased app, Skee Ball, from app store and it shows to be downloaded to my computer, and purchased on iTunes. When I sync the app doesn't show up on iPhone! Nothing in manual, any IDEAS?

Do you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and if so, is this new app downloaded with iTunes on your computer selected below?

App wont install on Ipod Touch

Bought an appfrom Apple Store and downloaded to computer. Connected Ipad, and app installed on Ipad ok. Connected Ipod Touch; computer showed list of available apps; the one I wanted to install appeared with "install" button next to it. XClicked on button and it changed to "will install," but nothing else happened. Clicked on "apply." It went through a synch cycle, but the app still didn't appear on the ipod. No error message of any kind. The button returned to "install."
How doI get this app to install? It was advertized as working on Ipod Touch.
Regards, Greatblue

It looks like our Ipod is a very old one. It runs IOS 4.2, and apparently cannot be upgraded to what is required for the app. it would have been nice, though, if trying to install produced an appropriate error message, rather than twiddling its thumbs and doing nothing.
Anyway, thanks for the responses, Greatblue

Iphone apps wont install or update - please help!

Hi. Hopefully someone can help me...
My iPhone 4s running iOS 6.1.3 wont let me install new apps or update existing apps. When i click on the button to buy a free or pay app the button changes to "install app". Then when i click on the install app button nothing happens ( no progress bar and no installation). After repeatedly clicking the install button the status changes to "install" as if it was installed...except it wasn't.
So far i've tried:
- logging out/in of iTunes account
- rebooting phone
- turning off / turning on phone
- resetting all settings
- deleting apps that required updating that wouldn't update
- deleting ibooks which had a pending download
Tried these multiple times without success in resolving the issue. Both wifi and 3G connection is fine.
Anyone gone through the same thing and have any suggestions? Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, Use the Administrator account. Download the Uninstaller and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
Then download the Flash Player Installer for Firefox and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
Then downlad the Flash Player Installer for Internet Explorer and SAVE it to your Desktop:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
Be sure to read over the Uninstaller instructions for system tray, and Make sure you use the Administrator Account.
When you have that done, Close ALL browsers. Run the Uninstaller and when finished, Reboot(restart) your computer.
When fully rebooted, Reboot again (to clear all old files out)
Then Run the Firefox Installer, then Run the IE Installer and when finished, Reboot Once.
Test both browsers here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Then Using IE, go to manage add ons (all add ons) and find Shockwave Flash Object and make sure it is Enabled.
Then Using FF, find the SWF vs 10.1.53.64 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
If you have any questions, just post.
Thanks,
eidnolb
Note: If you don't want Flash Player in IE, then ignore that link.
I would wait and Install Reader after a fix has been released.

App wont install

I purchased the carcassone app, it shows up in my purchased apps, but it won't install. It just says waiting. It's been like this for 7 days. What should i do?

How many pages of apps do you have? The limit (for iPhone OS 3.x) is 11 pages. Installing more, the apps are on the phone but not on a home screen, but you can find them using the Spotlight search function (tap the home button when you're on the first home screen).
