Can apps be updated in iTunes?

Here's my problem. Seems I have a "dead spot" on my screen (don't even get me started about that). Whenever I open my app store icon I'm unable to update any of my apps because I can never hit "OK" after I enter my user name and password thanks to the **** dead spot. That being the case, is there any way I can update the apps via iTunes? I've looked around iTunes but I don't think I can do such a thing. Any help would be much appreciated.

First, sync your iPhone. Then go to Applications in your iTunes Library and look down at the bottom right - you'll see Update Apps or something similar. Click here and update them in iTunes. Sync again and your apps will be updated on your iPhone. You can also purchase apps via iTunes.

Why can't I update my iTunes or apps?

Why can't I update my iTunes on my iPad.... Or any apps. Tells me "can't connect to iTunes" even tho password is good?

iTunes is built into ios and is only a link to the store to buy media, it is not like itunes on a pc and can not be updated outside of an IOS update.
If you are receiving that error message it means itunes is experiencing server problems, your internet connection is experiencing problems or your firewall/antivirus junk is causing problems.

1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

Can iPhone apps be updated via iTunes v download from home network?

I thought that by connecting my iphone through itunes on my laptop I could get all updates for my apps through itunes via synching and it would go very fast. I have 27 apps currently updating and it has taken nearly 35 mins and the app updates are still downloading. It's fine I guess when I'm home but I just updated apps a few weeks ago outside of my home network and AT&T had a field day with the amount of data I downloaded, especially since I couldn't cancel the updates.
Also, is there any blessed way to cancel the updates (yes I know they are meant to be there for a reason, but if I don't want them downloading via a cellular network, can I cancel or pause until I am into my home network?
Thanks,
Bill

First of all, your profile above indicates you are running OS X 10.6.8. Is this true? If so, realize this is the oldest version of OS X that supports the current iTunes (11.2.2). So once the next version of iOS is released, it seems likely that you would either be required to upgrade your OS X or no longer be able to sync your iPhone.
Given you are running an iTunes version that supports your iPhone, open iTunes on your computer, click the "Apps" tab, then click "Check for Updates" in the lower right. After you have done that, syncing your iPhone using iTunes will cause the latest versions of the iOS apps to be downloaded to your iPhone from your iTunes.

IPhone 3g Apps not updating in iTunes and Appstore on iPhone?

Ok, I usually check for updates for application using iTunes and I have updated some applications with it, however, I have noticed that there are some apps that has updates but won't be detected by iTunes. I would manually check the version I have in iTunes versus the store and when I download and do a sync, it updates it. So now my question is, uhh..what is happening?
I obviously can't rely on the auto update within iTunes and the App Store on the iPhone doesn't detect it as well..
Can someone shed some light with this?

Thanks good to know. As long as it's a known issue. I guess I just have to deal with it. I know that I have seen on blogs for new application updates and I would be like ok good. But it would never ever show up in my iTune or appstore on the iPhone. So I guess I just have to keep that in mind and download manually.
Thanks again!

I can't install update to iTunes 10.1

I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8 with czech localization. When i tried install update to iTunes 10.1, then installer says "This software does not contain support for the system language." Settings to english in Control panels (+ restart of computer) haven't any effect for installer. Any help appreciated, thanks

Are you using the updater downloaded by System Update? If so, go to the Apple website and get the standalone version of the update. The System Updates are not complete versions.

Disable a specific app's updates in iTunes

Hi everyone,
I am stuck with iOS 3.1.3 on my iPhone 2G. Some apps (like barcoo) now only support iOS 4.x and therefore cannot be synced to my iPhone. Is there a way to disable the +update available counter+ in iTunes for a single app? iTunes now always shows
and I obviously can’t get rid of that, because I can’t update this app with my old iPhone.
Any ideas?
Björn

Well, time went by and I now have a current iPhone. But it still would’ve been nice. I’ll submit feedback about this...

HT4914 Why can I not update my iTunes Match subscription from my iPad? Must I access from a PC?

I have been getting emails syaing my iTunes Match subscription will expire soon and if I do not renew I will not be able to access my music on iCloud. Also, it says I cannot update my account from an iOS device. But I no longer have iTunes installed on a PC - I only access from an iPad or iPhone. What can I do?

I always get an error message "Cannot update iOS software" or something to that effect everytime I try. I've tried plugging my iPad to my laptop computer and then my computer directly to internet connection (we have a router that allows WiFi access, so I thought I'd try to bypass the router instead), but this did not work. I've tried restoring my iPad via connected to my computer through iTunes, that worked for a short time and was able to update the apps I wanted, but soon after one of the apps stopped working properly, and then the apps I wanted to get from the App Store just wouldn't install or load...Instead they would be having "Waiting..." for the longest time until I give up and delete them. I've tried restarting my iPad, no luck either. I've also gone through the Reset process of "Erase All Content and Settings" i.e., Restore, and like mentioned above, it worked for a little while then it went back to square one, as I mentioned a sentence or two previously.
I've no idea what is going on, why it's not working, or anything. I just wonder if it's got anything to do with a slow internet connection (we don't have high-speed internet access), or something else I haven't found that may be just under my nose.
I would love some help and input into my situation, all and any ways which allow me to keep my current iPad (which is the New Generation one), not having to trash it and replace it with a new one.
Have you tried to restore as a new device? Maybe a glitch exists on the restored backup, try this:

I can no longer update my Itunes version and I also can't access online or phone support with their new support options because it won't accept my serial number. What's up? Did support go away?

I've been using Itunes for years with little problem and when one develops, it is quickly resolved. Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens. When I try to go to support, I select the Itunes downloading/synching option and basically, I can't proceed past the point of entering a valid serial number, because I'm not clear on which serial number it wants. It says hardware, so I supply my PC serial # (I own an ASUS laptop). I get an error message that this isn't a valid s/n, so I look for one for Itunes and can't find one anywhere. I try to follow their explanation of how to locate your serial # but it is extremely unclear and unhelpful. So now I'm stuck. I can't get past first base anymore. Did Apple come up with a clever way to end their support service without actually admitting it? Or am I just being particularly dense here? Any help is appreciated. Thx

Now, I find myself unable to update my version of Itunes. it asks me if I wish to update the version, I say yes, and then nothing happens.
With that one, I'd try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file, downloaded from the Apple Website:

I'm trying to update my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1 but there is no space to backup on drive C so i can't continue updating via itunes

iTunes requires about 11 GB space when there is only 500 MB free on local disk C and its all windows stuff i can't delete. how can i update ?
my current IOS is 4.3.3
thanks

You can't, you need to offload some of your Windows stuff, or possibly look into getting a remote hard drive to copy some of your content. Bottom line, if all you have is 500MB of free disk space then you need to free up some space or get more.
Good Luck!

Why can't i update my itunes?, Why can't i update my itunes?

I have had this iTunes for a while and I don't think it's updating because I don't have the iCloud on it and it's hasn't connected with the iTunes Store either. I constantly try to connect the iTunes Store but it never works, I always make double check that I do have Internet on my laptop but it never works! I don't want to Re-install my iTunes because i have more than 500 songs and i do not want to lose them all. Everytime i check for updates it says "The iTunes update server could not be contacted. Please check your internet connection, or try again later. when ever i plug in my iPod or iPhone, it syncs perfectly but i can't access the iTunes store from my laptop, i can't use the iCloud because it's just not there and I also can't get my purchased songs on my laptop.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
