Can't update apps on phone

i have about 14 different applications on my phone that need to be updated but they won't load..all of them just say "waiting" and when i click on the apps again it says "paused". i used to be able to update apps just through my phone. i also tried to delete the apps and install them again but it still shows as "waiting".  i know i can do it through my laptop but i don't have access to my laptop right now and won't for awhile as i'm on vacation.  i'm unable to use any of these applications so its a bit tedious.
can i update these apps on a different computer? or is there another way i can update the apps just with my phone?
thanks

Hi, I had a similar problem. I use 3 accounts on my iPhone/iPad: US, Italian and Thai. Suddenly I was not able to update apps switching from one account to another and I had to do via iTunes only.
This happened after I update to iOS 4.2 JB devices. I lost the JB and it's ok, but I didn't understand why cannot update apps without using the Mac.
Today I figured it out how to solve this problem.
First, backup your iPad on iTunes. Then on your iPad go to SETTINGS>>GENERAL>>RESET>>ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS.
After the reset is finished, restore your backup via iTunes and that's it.
Now I can update apps and the iPad switches itself.

  • 2.1 issues can't update apps from phone 3G/Edge/wifi & App errors in iTunes

    I get from the iPhone "Unable to Download Application, it will be avail when you log onto the iTunes on your computer."
    So when I try from the computer to "check purchases and sync" it still says I have 2 or so apps on the phone App store icon.
    It also says that some apps have not been loaded to the phone because some errors have occurred, a list of 29 apps says they are not on the phone but the are on the phone>>??

    What has worked for some people is going into Settings > General > Date & Time and changing the date to a few months in the future and then re-trying

    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.

  • TS4062 can't update apps cos my daughter's Apple ID password is required: even though I'm signed in via my Apple ID in settings (she uses my Mac for her itunes and didn't sign out, i synced my phone and it's been like this ever since) GRRRRR!

    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.

  • Can not Update App Because Never "Owned Major Version"  I never owned any version.  It just appeared and now I cannot get rid of it.

    I cannot delete it with the X because it was never on my phone in the first place.  It doesn't show up when I hook it up to Itunes.  And it doesn't show up on my ipad.  The app is MotionXGPS.  Is it a virus?  Thanks.

    Same here. Just becoming a nightmare. Updated iTunes and now can't update apps it itself is showing as available updates. Count me in on the latest "You can not update this software since you have not owned the major version of this software." bug.
    Next I have to post about a new problem in iPhoto on a new thread.... it lost the "link" between some but not all photos I have in the library and what it itself posted to FaceBook a few hours ago...
    Incredibly frustrating.

  • HT2731 How can I update apps when the screen just goes blank?

    How can I update apps on my iPad my screen is just blank. My phone updates fine.

    There are a number of other threads from people reporting a problem with a blank Updates tab in the App Store app on their iPads - it looks like there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix.
    Some posts are suggesting that you if you go into the Purchased tab in the App Store app you might be able to update the apps from there, though you will need to scroll through the list (potentially going through the A to Z list on the left-hand side of the screen, and similarly tapping the 'iPad Apps' button at the top left of the screen and selecting 'iPhone Apps') to find those with updates and individually update them.

  • I can't update apps on iPhone because of an old Apple ID.

    I have a new apple Id and no longer have access
    to my old one and I can't update apps on my iPhone because
    the old apple ID pops up. I've added the new ID to my
    Phone settings but it keeps popping up when I'm in
    the apps store. Any ideas?

    First, you are digging up a thread that has been dead for almost a year. So you have no idea what the context of the ASC was at that time and what folks were posting over and over here.
    Secondly if you spend just a little time on the ASC you will quickly learn that folks make random Apple ID accounts all of the time.
    As far as the exact situation which you mention, you can change the primary email account associated with an Apple ID, without changing the ID, which is why I have an @mac.com Apple ID that uses an @gmail.com email address. And it was for the very reason you mention, I got the @mac.com account (accounts which pre-date @me.com by a number of years) for a free trial, but didn't feel that I wanted to pay $100 a year to use it after the trial period ended, but I had used the account during the trial to acquire a lot of Apple content that I did not wish to loose.

  • Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s

    Can not update apps after IOS8 update on iPhone 4s
    I can no longer update apps on my iPhone 4s after the IOS 8 update. The IOS 8 update took a very long time to complete, maybe 12 hours, and afterwards, it worked but updating packages were very slow. Package updates have since been problematic and about 4 days ago, it stopped being able to update any packages. I click on them to update and they never make any progress. I have 2.8 Gbytes free and I keep deleting more and more packages, pictures, etc. It seems like, from the amount of stuff that I have deleted, I should have more than 2.8 Gbytes free.
    Is anyone else having this kind of problem?

    16GB iPhone4: Go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes & App Stores and touch. At the top of the next page it shows: Apple ID. Touch this. Select Sign Out. Your Apple ID will go away. Re-enter Apple ID and password. Try App Store again.
       Other solutions were to go to Settings:General:Date&Time and turn off auto-update, then change date to next year. This didn't work for me, nor a lot of other users on the forums. It took reading a lot of threads to find the log-out, log-in solution. Even on the official Apple Website all I saw was: Make sure your connection is working, battery is charged, desktop is plugged in when you try to sync. OK I exaggerate, but with all the users posting this problem, you'd think they'd post their solutions when they work with a Tech Help call.

    Hi,
    Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > View Apple ID > enter your password > set Country/Region to US if your account was created in the US.

  • HT5622 I changed my Apple ID and now can't update Apps or sign in to Icloud as I'm asked for my Old Apple ID password which is no longer used.

    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
