Can't update apps or download podcasts on iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1

I can't download podcasts or update apps on my iPhone 5s.  I had the problem on iOS 8.0.2 and the problem of updating apps went away for a few days when I updated to iOS 8.1.  But now my apps won't update anymore.  My podcasts stopped downloading at the same time as my apps stopped updating, but downloading never restarted.  I am able to stream my podcasts though.
My iPhone 5s has 64GB and I have 42.8GB available, so storage capacity isn't the issue.  I've had the phone for 10 months.  The phone had 1 second of water damage about 2 months ago.  This issue didn't start until about three weeks ago, so I don't know if they are related.  I've tried soft and hard resets, nothing has worked so far.
I appreciate any suggestions.

I have the same problem with my iPhone 6 16GB. If you restore it, the problem will be solved but it will return after some hours or so. It's not hardware, but I don't know how to fix it permanently.

    cant update apps on my mac or iphone4. asks for password for another account i had on a dell notebook. either i forgot the pass word or its not taking it  . i can download apps and music.  how can i update apps on my mac and iphone 4?

    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.

  • I can't update apps or download apps from Mac App Store

    I am running OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro less than 3 yrs old.
    I have 2.66 Ghz Intel I7 processor
    4GB memory 1067MHZ DDR3

    I can't update apps or download apps from Mac App Store
    King...
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8
    Then restart your Mac, launch the App Store.
    Try updating / downloading apps.

  • Ipod Touch can't update apps or download new apps

    I can download new apps using my computer, but not on my ipod touch.  I can't download new apps on it, or update existing apps.  No error message at all.  When I try to update apps, I select 'update all', it "thinks" for a couple of seconds, then stops.  When I try to download a new app, the screen says 'waiting', then the app's icon briefly flashes on the screen and it's gone.  Any ideas?
    Tried creating a new Apple ID but that didn't fix the problem at all, still can't download new apps with it, and I don't think I could update existing apps with a new Apple ID anyway.

    You are right in that apps are tied to the account that originally purchased the app so you have to sign into that account to update the app.
    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring from backup
    Last would be to restore to factory defalts/new iPod (last resort).

  • How Can I Change Apple ID in iMessage on iPhone 5S running iOS 8?

    When I try to add "Use Your Apple ID for iMessage" under Messages in Settings, a pop-up box appears that says "Sign In to iMessage (Enter the Apple ID password for "[email protected]".  The only place to type is in the password box.  if I cancel, I go back to the Messages settings screen.If I click "OK", the pop-up returns.  I can see the correct Apple ID on the screen that appears when I click on "Use Your Apple ID for iMessage", but cannot get to that because of the pop-up.
    Here's what I've tried:
    1. Sign out of iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime.
    2. Close out of settings.
    3. Turn phone off and back on.
    4. Sign back in to all apps listed above.
    None of these things worked.  Any suggestions?

    Read it again.  It only deletes your PhotoStream, not your Camera Roll (the pictures that you took with your phone that are on your phone).
    Transfer your photos to your computer first if you're worried.
    And, actually, if you changed the primary email for your Apple ID, then the old email isn't connected to anything anymore, so it actually won't delete anything.

  • Can you help me delete imported photos from iPhone (4s) running ios 7?

    I made (what appears to be) the mistake of importing photos from my PC to my new iPhone 4s using itunes.  They now seem to be permanent occupants.  I can select them (in the "Moments" view in the Photos app)  but the trash can on lower right is always grayed out.  It appears that in ios 6 they could be deleted in the Settings/General/Usage (I also synced over some music which is deletable here).  Can anyone help me? 

    Thank you razmee, I will give that a shot and get back to you.  I was just looking at that grayed out trashcan icon an thinking there was probably a way to light it up. 

  • I can't get audiobooks to sync to my iPhone 4s running iOS 6. I can't even find the audiobooks tab in iTunes in order to enable syncing of them.

    I am not sure if it is because I am blind and just can't see the audiobooks tab on my iTunes screen, but my screen reading software can't find it either. None of the audiobooks will sync. I have tried turning iTunes Match off and on and it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

    Hey, nickstandford26.
    To sync Audiobooks from your computer to your iOS device, we'll want to follow the basic syncing instructions outlined in this article:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    Specifically, what we are looking for is the "Books" tab at the top of iTunes (grouped together with Summary, Music, etc). Audiobooks have moved to this "Books" tab.
    Once on the Books tab, there are two separate sections for syncing regular digital Books and Audiobooks. Make sure that the "Sync Audiobooks" checkbox is checked and choose to either sync all or selected audiobooks. Once these changes are applied, the Audiobooks will be transferred to your device for your enjoyment!
    Happy Listening,
    Matt M.

  • Can't update apps to iPod using iTunes

    I often use iTunes on my computer to download and update apps on my iPod Touch 4th Generation running iOS 6.1.3 (since I don't have much wifi access).  Once I update the apps on iTunes, I plug in my iPod and click on the little "update" buttons.  Then I click apply, and the sync starts.  After a few seconds, the buttons that now say "will update" change back to "update."  After the sync ends, the apps are not updated, though any new apps will install.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Hey, I'm getting the same message! Now I have to click 'ok' en start the sync everytime the error shows. It is so infuriating. The alternative is a firewire cable, but that one is a problem maker too these days; it won't mount my iPod unless I reset it. It's a catch 22. I NEVER had a problem with my G4 black/white iPod...d*mn I miss it!

  • HT201328 Can I Update ios7 In My Carrier Unlocked iPhone  ?

    Can I Update ios7 In My Carrier Unlocked iPhone  ?

    When iOS 7 is launched, you will be able to upgrade, as iOS 7 will be supported on iPhone 4 and newer. Open Settings > General > Software Update, and you will be able to install it when launched.
    iOS updates are launched by Apple and they don't depend on the carrier or device like Android, so iOS 7 will probably be released for all devices at the same time. It will be launched in fall

  • How can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    how can I change my iphone username to update apps and download anything with the new email I have today?

    Before you make an apple ID with the new email, go to appleid.apple.com.  login with your old email and password. change your old email to your new one. Now you can use your new email as your apple id, but beware if you go through the process of creating a new appleid with your new email address you will not be able to attach your old account to your new email.
