Can't update apps or sign into itunes

Got this promo em after putting iPad on account. Read all the advice, tried DNS 8.8.8.8 and changing time to late date. Found tha if you delete the apps waiting to be updated from the home page with the hold and wiggle method the apps to be updated will go. After that come out and log in. I had to redo my credit card details butl works ok now. I only had 1 paid for app £0.69 for update before but you will loose your paid for the apps for update that you have deleted. SP6

I called and just got off the phone with Apple. They say iTunes is currently down and to try again in an hour or so...

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

Can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

can you update apps when connected to itunes on laptop?

Yes. You can download the updates to the apps in iTunes and then sync them to the iPad while the iPad is connected to your computer. I did that last night because I had so many large app updates to do - apps that were 250MB up to 650MB in size - and it just made more sense to me to do it that way.

Can't update apps - 'cannot connect to itunes store'

This is what I've been getting all weekend on my iPhone 4 (4.1).
My Mac's iTunes also has been unable to deliver updates (OSX 10.6.4; iTunes 10.0.1); I can purchase and download iTunes music/videos just fine; but the check for app updates just spins for a bit and returns nothing.
*But my iPad can see and download it's app updates just fine!*
Any hints/suggestions? I've rebooted and logged in/out of my store account but that doesn't seem to fix it. Everything was working fine until this weekend....
Thanks!
Tom

This is happening to me too, I'm in the UK - (are you in the US?), and when I try to update my apps via the 'app store' on my iPhone itself I get the message 'cannot connect to iTunes store', and when I go into (the latest version of) iTunes, and click 'check for updates' the blue/white striped bar goes across for about one second then just stops, without the message telling me that there are updates, or that there are no updates available.
I really hope that Apple sorts this out soon, or at least acknowledges that there is a problem, when companies don't tell their customers what is really going on it causes all kinds of rumour and conjecture that could be worse than just telling it to us straight.

My iPhone 4 won't let me download apps or sign into iTunes from the app

Everytime I try and download an app I type in my password and nothing happens. If I click it again then it asks for my password again then retupe and have the same problem. It's the same when trying to log into iTunes from the app and the same when I try updating an app, If I type the password wrong then it tells me it's wrong. I've tried resetting the phone bye holding the two buttons for ten seconds but no joy? Oh and for some reason podcasts have dissapeared from my phone completely?

Please update your profile. The iPhone 4 cannot run iOS 6.0.2
Do you have any restrictions set?
i.e. Settings > General > Restrictions > (Allowed Content) Apps > 4+

Can not update apps on iPhone or iTunes

I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 4.3.3 yesterday and I now can't update any apps via my phone or iTunes.
On my phone I get the error "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"
On iTunes I get "We're sorry, we cannot complete your request on the iTunes Store at this time. Please try again later"
Any ideas on how I can fix it.......Many Thanks in advance for any help

Well I finally got the apps updated. How? I deleted them from the iPhone and then in iTunes the app became unchecked. I checked the app and then it was installed on the iPhone. The only problem was that any data associated with those apps was lost. With the games it was just the high scores, but with apps like Splash ID and Fuel Gauge it was all my passwords and a years worth of fuel fill-up data. I tried a restore of all that data using the backup, but what happened there was that when the iPhone restored the back-up it also restored the out dated app as well. Therefore the only thing I could do is re-enter al the data that was lost all over again. At least with Splash ID that was a sync with the desktop application. With Fuel Gauge it's a matter of going back and re-entering everything again. I hope this doesn't happen everytime I need to update a program.

How can i find out who signed into itunes with my id

Someone signed into an iPhone4 with my info last night. i have an iPhone5. How can i find out who

BTW, just checked through my email history and I can't find a similar message to yours. I recently had my iPhone 3GS replaced with an iPhone 4 so if there is an official alert program in place I should have received something like it. I think we can be reasonably confident that it is a scam. If you used any link in the email to visit what you thought was an Apple site, and signed in, then you should definitely change your password from within the iTunes application. Store > View My AppleID > Top Edit link.

Since upgrading my ipad2 to ios6 I can't update apps or download from iTunes

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!

HT201272 Can't update apps or buy songs or apps

Hi can't update apps or buy from iTunes . I was able to do all of this but can't now can anymore help me plz

Hi..
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

I'm signed into iTunes but says cannot connect to iTunes at this time. I can play online server games but not update or DL new apps

I guess to be more specific. I'm signed into iTunes, I can play my usual games,online included. What it won't allow me to do now is update or download new apps. Just says waiting and never goes. I shut the iPad down and restart it, and a message will pop up saying all the game names cannot update at this time , blah blah blah.... What's going on and how do I fix this?

App Store Asking Me To Sign Into itunes to Update An App

I've just tried to update an app on app store, when i click on 'update' it asks me to sign into itunes.
I put my password in and nothing happens, it then comes up again. My password is correct, but it just doesn't do anything!
Anyone had this problem?
One last thing, i've had a look around on my phone and i've noticed i'm not signed into itunes and app store on general settings.
Could this be the problem?
any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Mine started that too recently. Even this morning, I was web browsing when all of a sudden the password screen popped up asking me for my password. I didn't enter it and everything was fine but I removed my credit card info and changed my password from iTunes just in case.
There have been a lot of stories recently about bogus iTunes charges, so I feel better to be safe than sorry.

I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs and I now have a MacBook Pro and when i signed into iTunes all the songs I had before were gone. How can I get my old songs back?

I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs then when I updated my computer to the MacBook Pro it deleted all my songs when I signed into iTunes. Is there a way I can get those songs back?

Did you put the songs on the new computer?
You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
