Can't update apps with iTunes

Hi!
iTunes shows me that there are 4 updates for apps (for the iPhone/iPod Touch) available but everytime I click the "x Updates available"-message iTunes does something online and shows then the message:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (5002).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
I have this problem since I installed iTunes 8. The count for the available updates increases and I can buy apps through the Appstore in iTunes and can also buy music.
I restarted iTunes and my computer, nothing helped.
Any ideas?

Same problem here:

  • Can't sync apps with itunes

    I've having issues syncing my newly purchased apps with iTunes now and it says that my device has not been authorized with this computer. This is not the case, I've been syncing to the same computer and it has been authorized for years. I'm thinking this might be an update issue because everything has been working fine right up to when I did my upgrade of the iOS last week. This was the first time I actually plugged my iPhone into my computer since the upgrade. Things seem to go fine except when it tried to sync my apps and it then gave me the warning that my iPhone was not authorized to transfer the apps to iTunes. I went in to authorize the device in iTunes and it says my iPhone is authorized. So now I have an app I can't transfer to my computer and I suspect that if I had also purchased music, this would also not transfer.
    Something is up. I don't think they have all the bugs worked out on the iOS5 update and iTunes. So, anyone having the same issue since the upgrade and/or anyone have a solution?

    Try deauthorizing the phone in itunes then reauthorize it.

  • Can't update apps, wrong iTunes account associated with them.

    I have just a handful of applications that when I try to update the the app store app prompts me for a password to my other account which the apps were not purchased on. All the apps were validly purchased on the first account, but now the apps are associated with my second itunes account and I can't update them. I've gone into the app store app and set the account to my first account but that does nothing for the update, it keeps prompting me for my password for my second account. I need it to switch back to the first account for these few apps. What's odd is that every other app updates just fine and are associated with the correct account, except for just these few. Any thoughts?
    The message I get is that "this discounted price is only available to owners of previous versions.... blah blah." well, I own the previous version, that's how I got it on the iPad. But it's a different account. The update prompt does not allow you to change the username/email, only enter a password. Anyhoo, this is getting annoying.

    I ran into the same problem. I had purchased apps using more than one account. When updating apps, I would get errors. Here's what I did to fix it . . . not easy, though.
    First, attempt to update your apps on the PC. This will update all of the apps associated with the current account on iTunes.
    1) Double-clicked in Apps iTunes (on PC)to open the Apps in another window
    2) Arranged windows so I could see both my apps window and the main itunes window side by side.
    3) Select an app in the apps window
    4) Click on the down arrow right next to the name the Name column which and choose the app name from the drop down list. This will open the app info from the iTunes store in the main iTunes window.
    5) Compare the versions. If the Store version is newer, delete the app from the iPhone and from the PC.
    Repeat for each app.
    Time-consuming but it works.

  • Can't update apps with correct Apple ID!

    For months now, I have been unable to update my apps either on my computer or on my iPhone. Attempting to update apps, whether all at once or individually, on my iPhone results in the error "Cannot access iTunes store." However, I am able to download new apps just fine through the store. In the Apps section of iTunes on my computer, it says "43 updates available" in the bottom right. When I click that, it says "No updates are currently available. To check for updates with another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID." I know the apps need to be updated because 1) it tells me so on my phone and 2) the version numbers have been superceded. I don't have another Apple ID. Besides that, I checked "Get Info" on every single app and every one of them was downloaded with the Apple ID that I am signed into iTunes with on both my computer and my phone. I have signed in and out of my account multiple times on both my computer and my iPhone. I have rebooted both. Today I did a reset and restore on my iPhone using my latest backup, from earlier in the day. I put my apps back onto my iPhone. Nothing has changed.
    I don't know what else to do! Can anyone help?
    Here is all the info on my gadgets and systems:
    MacBook Pro running MacOS X 10.6.8
    iTunes 10.6.3
    iPhone 4 software 5.1.1
    Verizon Wireless

    Update:
    I just re-downloaded all of my free apps through the iTunes Store on my computer. It behaved as if I had never downloaded the app before. The apps all synced up just fine with my iPhone and have disappeared from my Updates list in the AppStore on my phone. The count of my apps needing updates has gone down in iTunes as well. But I still can't update the apps I haven't downloaded again. I don't want to repurchase my paid apps, many of which I use every day!

  • Can't update iPhone with iTunes

    Hi everyone,
    I've recently downloaded the most recent update for the iPhone 3GS and tried to install it today. Every time I try to update the phone, the message "The iPhone "Sian's iPhone" could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build" appears. (See below)
    My iPhone isn't jailbroken, my iTunes software is up-to-date (10.2.2) and my laptop's software is up-to-date (Mac OS X 10.6.7).
    I've never had this problem before... Sometimes when I plug my phone into the wall or in the laptop it says "Charging is not supported with this accessory" even though I'm using genuine Apple accessories, etc. I'm not sure if this helps you determine the issue.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me update my iPhone!

    Here's what is mentioned for your error in the updated version (June 22nd) of iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    Don't forget to update iTunes, the newest version is 10.3.1 Maybe a different USB cable is also worth a try.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. If you do have the latest version of iTunes, this can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new IPSW. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see  iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod; follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.

  • Changing country. Can't update apps via iTunes

    Have strange issue with my iTunes. After changing country form Russia to Ukraine my iTunes only searches and displays the number of updates. But when I want to update it and clicking on "update apps" iTunes says "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another APPLE ID, sign in whit that Apple ID."
    But at the same time my iPhone successfully searches and updates all apps for the same Apple ID, and then transfers it while sync with iTunes. What is the problem with my iTunes?

    The solution:
    Delete all your apps in itunes you have purchased in previous country
    Reinstall it

  • Can't update apps using itunes 11.03

    I updated to itunes 11.03.
    They changed how you update apps.  Instead of clicking the app button on left and getting updates, there is a tab; but, when you hit update the update apps just sit there and won't go away.
    Anyone else have this problem.

    I have the same problem with my iOS devices. When I sync to remove or update apps it get stuck on step 3 determining apps to sync and then nothing happens.
    Before updating itunes, it was working fine.
    I am now using iTunes 11.0.4.4 on a Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 2.
    Please help and make the necessary actions.

  • Canadians Can't Buy Apps With Itunes Credit?

    I just purchased $75 worth of itunes canadian credit and I put them on my account thinking it will work. I went to purchase an app and all of a sudden I have to buy with a credit card instead of the credit I already have on my account. Apple can you seriously make it so us canadians aka consumers able to purchase apps with the credit we purchased from you.

    Nope, not actually. The only restrictions Alberta places on gift cards are the following:
    * Not allow expiry dates on gift cards, gift certificates, and vouchers that have been purchased and have monetary value
    * Eliminate inactivity fees, also called dormancy fees, that reduce the value of gift cards the longer they go unredeemed
    * Prevent businesses from not honouring gift cards for purchases that are
    more or less than the value of a gift card
    * Require merchants to fully disclose any restrictions on use of a gift card on both the actual card and its packaging
    To further my point, Apple definately does not abide by the last law (at least in the rest of Canada), as they say nothing on the card or its packaging about not being able to buy apps with it.

  • ICloud Family Sharing - can't purchase apps with iTunes Credit

    My wife and I previously shared the same AppleID on our phones.   When the family sharing became available, it seemed the perfect approach for what we were accomplishing.  I upgraded my wife's phone to 8.x and then moved her back to the Apple ID that I had initially created for her.  I invited her to join the family and completed that setup.
    We then had some iTunes gift cards that she had received and so loaded those to her iTunes account (wife's AppeID) on her iPad.  However, when we attempt to purchase apps on her iPad, it insists on purchasing from my AppleID via my credit card rather than using the iTunes credit.
    Any suggestions?  I've seen posts that iTunes credit cannot be transferred.

  • I can't update apps as itunes doesn't accept my password on iphone 5

    I cannot update my apps because iTunes won't accept my password.

    Make sure that under the settings app --> store --> Apple ID:[your apple ID here] is correct.  If it is, go to https://iforgot.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/DSiForgot.woa/wa/iforgot and reset your password to what you want it to be.  If it is not the apple ID you bought the apps on, then change it and try again.
    And Drbean: are you logged in under the account you bought them in and entering the current password?

  • If I can't buy apps with ituned card in Canada - how do I get my money back

    I don't want the cards if I can't use them to buy apps, so how do I get my money back? They sell the cards with the presumption that you can use them to buy anything thru itunes but after they are redeemed and you try to use them, they don't work! I want a refund!

    your out of luck
    use them to buy Music, Movies, TV, or audio books
    it is well covered on the net and in the TOU for iTunes Canada and in Apple online store (iTunes section).

  • Can't update apps from iTunes store..

    I'm using my iPad 2 and I can run apps, purchase apps, browse the app store.. But when I click on the updates icon, I get an alert that reads, "cannot connect to iTunes store."
    I've restarted my iPad, logged in and out of the iTunes store, turned off wifi and back on.. Any other options?

    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
