Can't update apps - Incorrect program for iPad

Has anyone run across a problem with trying to update applications on the iPad 2 where it gives an error message "Unable to update. Incorrect program for iPad"? This has just started happening but I've no idea why. I tried downloading the latest software update but it is still giving me this error message. I would appreciate any assistance or ideas someone may have. Thanks.

I have the same, it is id related, and only for already installed / to be upgraded apps !
Ipad 1 and 2: first id, can only download new apps, not previously installed apps.
Ipad 1 and 2 : other id, can download and upgrade.
This annoys me to dead ! Apple, go and fix this !

Why can't I update apps directly on my iPad?

Why can't I update apps directly on my iPad?

If your iPad is 3G then I think Johnathan has answered the question - if the downloads were larger than 20MB. If the downloads were smaller than 20MB you can try restarting or resetting your iPad and see if that helps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

HT204266 changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps

changed email but doesn't show up to login on ipad so I can't update apps. Any solution?

As long as you didn't create a new ID and merely changed the email address that you use for your Apple ID - go to Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the changed ID.
If you created a new ID, you need to continue to use the old ID in order to update apps since purchases are always tied to the ID used to make the purchase.

Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them. You will have to delete the apps from the phone and re-purchase them using your Apple ID.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Hi Jamjoint,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your Apple ID is used for both the iTunes & App Stores and iCloud. If you edited that Apple ID before signing out of the iCloud on your devices, it may be necessary to edit the Apple ID back to the original email account so that you can sign out of iCloud. Once signed out, you can edit the Apple ID back to the new email account and sign back in. Please use the attached article for further information.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, 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.
Cheers,
Joe

I purchased a Slingbox HD and purchased the app for my iPad 2. I am wondering if I can load the app on my old iPad?

I purchased a Slingbox HD and purchased the app for my iPad 2. I am wondering if I can load the app on my old iPad without having to pay $30 again?

Where did you download the app from?
I can't find it at the iTunes app store. If you downloaded the app directly from the app developer's site, you need to contact them.

Can I play apps I got for my ipad on my desktop computer?

Can I play apps I got for my Ipad on my desktop computer?

No. iOS apps only operate on Apple's iDevices (iPad, iPhone, etc). They wont operate on other tablets, or Mac or Windows computers. Just like Windows PC games won't work on Mac OS X.

Ipad ll - Can't update apps or view videos

Can't update apps or view videos after downloading several podcasts. When I look at podcasts downloaded in ITunes it shows all the items that I selected and says that it is "processing" the first item and seems to be hung up or locked up - the same thing happens when I attempt to update an App - it shows waiting but never completes. I have expanded my screen timeout, but to no avail. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multiple issue: Newly created passwords don't work/ can't update apps.

My issue is more with my apple i.d. than with my devices, which are an ipad 3 and an iphone 4 (will be upgrading soon). A few weeks ago, an icloud message popped up asking for my password. When I entered my password, it didn't work. I tried my password in several other places and it wasn't working, so I went into iForgot and changed it. It still wasn't working, so I tried changing it again, still no luck. This cycle continued for some time, recreating my apple id password over and over. I am using the same apple i.d. that I was before, but I had to change my gamecenter id, losing access to some games. My biggest concern is that I can get into the app store to see my account, but I can't update apps on either device. It doesn't say that I have the incorrect password, try again. It just does nothing. When I look at my account settings, I see that there is a password already in place (a previous password, can't see the digits, only the number of characters), but it is not the new one I created. When I try to put mine in it just reverts back to the old password, still leaving me unable to update my apps. About a week after this started, my wife and I noticed a dollar charge to our itunes account that we didn't do, we investigated and found out that my itunes account had been hacked. Apparently, the scam works when a small charge goes through and then once it does, much more is spent on itunes. I took my card off file and am waiting to get my apps updated, before I enter a new one. There are numerous issues happening and I'm not really sure where to begin. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hello bcHarrisburg,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you haven't been able to log into or use certain Apple services that require an Apple ID.
I have a few troubleshooting resources that can help, although if it appears that your account has been compromised, this article suggests contacting Apple Support:
Security and your Apple ID - Apple Support
If you believe your account information has been compromised, visit My Apple ID to change your password immediately. If you need additional help, contact Apple Support.
For more help with sign in issues, you can find some tips in these articles:

Building ios Newsstand App with AS3 for iPad?

Hi,
How do I build an IOS newsstand App with AS3 for iPad? I will not need any updates for this app. It will be just a pdf magazine inside, same contents forever.
I cant find any tutorials/introduction on how to build this.
I get the idea on how to create normal ios App, but creating Newsstand App really confussed me.
Hope I can get a good start here
Help is appreciated!

Sorry I've been busy.
Have a look at this newsstand app tutorial that's in 2 parts. This is for native iOS however the packaging is the most important.
http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/17/ios-newsstand-tutorial/
http://www.viggiosoft.com/blog/blog/2011/10/29/at-newsstand-and-subscriptions/
The in-app subscription is something you're going to have to tackle. Are you selling this magazine on a subscription basis? If you are selling it, things can get tricky or possible. I'm not fluent on the latest in-app purchase integration or if there is any planned integration. A look on the ANE download page (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/native-extensions-for-air.html) doesn't show any ANE support for it. You could google around for an ANE that supports in-app subscriptions of course.
Hope that helps.
Please be sure to read the entire 2 articles listed above. I realize they do not strictly have to do with Adobe but they do outline the process of getting an app on newsstand and it's just up to us as developers to translate tutorials like that into our world.

I can't update the software on my iPad 3 even though I've got enough storage space

I can't update the software on my iPad 3 even though I've got enough storage space, can you help? It is to update to IOS 7.0.4

Storage space on iCloud is not a substitute for storage space on the iPad. You need sufficient storage space on your iPad to accomodate the download. How much Available space do you have? Go to Settings>General>Usage
How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Safari updates, if any, automatically come with iOS updates. There is no iOS app store download of Safari.
