Can't install or update any apps

Not sure when it started, but I can't update or install any apps at all. I have reset the phone, signed in and out of iTunes, and restored it to an earlier date. Nothing has worked. On iPhone 5s with 7.1 I've noticed the phone is ridiciously slow recently, too. taking 5-10 seconds to respond to anything I do.

Hello, LD1996. 
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
I would need more information regarding any error messages received and clarity on exactly what is happening to better assist you.  However, I will include a basic troubleshooting article to get you started. 
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

  • Can't install or update any app. "Unable to download" message

    During a regular update of some apps via the app store, i selected the apps i wanted to be update. They started to "update". But after a few seconds a message appeared: " uable to download now". I do have perfect wifi and the apple store works.
    The only difference is that i use an other wifi internet, not at home.
    Now these apps are showing the blue colored bar without any movement and ones you tap them again it will try to install again but gives the same error message. What does this mean and how can i get it solved?

  • What is wrong with ITUNES and app store I can't install or update any apps and says it is not available??? This is a very trending question...

    I can't install and update any application, even for the free app the system ask me to sign in to the billing payment. Even though that I did sign, it still declined. Any one could help, please

    All Apple iTunes Store accounts must have a valid form of payment set up. Even for free apps and updates. The Payment Declined message comes from your card issuer or payment source; Apple is just a pass-through for the message. You need to find out why your issuer is declining your card.

    I can not connect to the ITunes store. I have updated my apple ID and made sure that everything is set correctly. However, I can not purchase or update any apps no matter what I do. My partner has the same phone and hers works perfectly. I'm not sure how to sort this out. Please help

    I've been having this problem for weeks and have found no solution to it. There are lots of other people with this issue too if you look back on the boards. I even e-mailed AND called Apple and have had no luck. I tried all the suggestions they gave me and all the ones I found on here- nothing worked. I even uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (boy was that a pain!) and no difference.
    The weird part is that I have an old laptop that works and if I buy music with the laptop I can download it with my regular computer buy buying does not work on my regular computer. That tells me it's not a connection issue. I can't get to my account either.
    I can't figure out why an issue that has kept so many people from purchasing a product has been ignored!

    You cannot use other countries itunes stores.
    You must be within the Country with a Valid Billing Address and Credit Card for that Country to use the iTunes Store of that Country...

    After updating to ios7 on my ipad,
    I can't install any new apps or update any of my already installed apps. Does anyone have a solution?

    I had the same problem. When I downloaded iOS 7, the auto download switch in the I Tunes & Apps store turned off. Go to the I Tunes & Apps store in Settings and turn the toggle switch to on for Apps auto download.

  • WHy wont my app store install or update any apps?

    when i try to install an app a grey box comes up that says waiting then dissappears after a while without installing the app. When i try to update my apps, it does the process of updating them but then still says they need to be updated no matter how many times i do it. By that i mean it asks for my password and then the boxes come up saying waiting then installing but then the app store still says they need to be updated. The only way i can update my apps is to delete them and re install them but paid apps that ive had to delete to update say i need to pay for them again. Whats going on?
    i am using an ipod 2g and have the latest software that can be put on it
