Can't install App, why?
Hello! Got a question about permissions that I haven't quite acquired a good understanding of. I set the computer up with the owner and then immediately set up a new user with admin rights but when this user tries to install an app he gets an error message that he doesn't have enough privileges. What am I not grasping here? Thanks, Tom
You may want to run Repair Permissions from Disk Utility first.
If it is a specialized Installer program, depending on where files are being installed, it may require the owner to give username and password. If not prompted, it may be necessary to log in to the owners account to install that software. If the user has admin rights, it should be possible to do drag-drop installations into the Applications folder.

Configurator 'Can't Install App'
Why won't configurator let me have a configuration profile installed as well as installing an app. Whenever I have an configuration profile installed, I can't install any app. If there is not profile installed, I can install apps no problem. I work in a school, with a class set of iPads and this limits me from b eing able to keep the students from doing things like install their own apps, using the camera, etc, while I'm trying to teach.
Frustrating.LutherElem,
Here is the solution:
Before updating the iPads, DO NOT update the apps from iTunes
1. Connect the iPads to the computer that has the AC
2. Open AC
3. Uncheck the profile that you pushed to the iPads, then click Apply
4. Now update the apps through iTunes, then add the updated apps and the new apps to AC
5. Check the new apps, then Apply
6. Check the previous profile, then Apply
Why?
Let's take a look at what the Apple Configuration (AC) will do when an iPad is connected. Below is the steps it runs through in order:
Retrieving iOS information-->Checking Activation...-->Checking Pairing...-->Installing Apps-->Retrieving Documents-->Installing Configuration
As you can see, it's installing apps first before installing configuration (the profile). If your profile was set to not to allow the iPad to install apps (meaning you removed the App Store from the iPad), the AC can't push updated/new apps to the iPad. That's why you can't update the apps from iTunes at the beginning and that's why on step 3 you need to remove your initial profile before pushing updated/new apps.
If the apps in the AC already got updated through iTunes or there were new apps in the AC, that will pop up the "Can't install apps" error. If the apps in the AC are still the same version as those in the iPad, it won't pop up that error. That's why we do not update the apps through iTunes at the first beginning to make sure the apps versions in the iPads are still the same as those in the AC.
To summarize again, the iPads need the Apple Store back before they can be loaded with updated/new apps by the AC. The profile installed on the iPads were blocking the AC to push updated/new apps. That's why we have to remove that profile and put it back in the end.
I feel I am making you confused.

"one app installed by company"
The last app is needed for when I do work. It doesn't need to run on the background. When I'm doing work, I need to input some information in that app, and sync it to my company's server.
I would like to install some apps (free) of my choosing. But I'm coming across a hurdle...
I choose "App Store" in Home.
I search for a free App (for example the Google Search app by Google Inc)
I'm taken to the app's info screen. I tap the blue "Free" button.
The button becomes a green "Install App" button.
I get a pop-up box saying
Apple ID password
[email protected]
[password]
How can I install apps of my choosing without having a "work app" get deleted? This work app was installed on the "[email protected]" Apple ID.
Thank you.Ingo2711, when you did this:
I logged out of my AppleID on the iPod, took it to his computer, synced it, which erased all of my apps. I installed the default apps plus one app that he bought using his account info.
You made his computer the syncing computer.
When you did this:
Connected to my Mac and iTunes and tried to sync one of the apps I bought with my account. The app shows up on one of the pages before you start the sync, but once you apply the sync, it does not transfer.
And, of cause, no restrictions set at all.
You changed syncing computers but you can only sync apps (and some other things like photos) from only your one syncing computer. -
When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps. -

Can't Install Apps Directly To iPod touch
For some reason my iPod touch can't install apps on its own, I have to go through this big process that involves:
1. Transfering the downloaded app to iTunes on the computer
2. Making all the apps wobble to delete the uninstalled app directly off the iPod touch
3. Uncheck the box in the applications folder thing when the iPod touch is plugged in to the computer to completely uninstall the app
4. Sync the iPod touch
5. Then finally add the app back onto the iPod touch through the computer
Then after this long process the app works perfectly, but I recently saw some iPhone 3G commercial and it demonstrated how to download apps and went to the app store on the iPhone, downloaded an app and installed directly all by itself, so I don't know if i'm doing something wrong or my iPod touch is just broken?Hi,
Do you still have 2.0.1? I had the occasional hiccup with that when downloading to the Touch. I have recently tried again now I'm on 2.0.2 and they seem to have worked OK.
Regards,

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. -
